Respuesta :

Question 1:

Substitution.

x+y=2

y=-x+2

Put this in the next equation as y:

2x+(-x+2)=4

2x-x=x

x+2=4

x=2

Put this into the first equation.

(2)+y=2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

y=0

Solution: (2,0)

There is only one solution.

Question 7:

A solution to a set of equations is where the two lines agree on an ordered pair.

The 2 lines should intersect at the solution (--5,2)

Long story short, it's the third option.

Answer:

The third answer is correct
